Albuquerque (http://www.itsatrip.org) is a vibrant, sprawling desert metropolis near the center of New Mexico.
Although it is the largest city in the state, Albuquerque is often overshadowed as a tourist destination by Santa Fe, 60 mi 97 km to the north. But Albuquerque has a number of great attractions in its own right, with pleasant scenery, colorful history, and a spectacular hot-air balloon fiesta in the fall.
